When it was the lat ter’s turn to play, he placed the ball carefully, threw himself Into position, swung his club like a forge-hammer and—missed. The rejected caddie laughed joy fully. Once more the novice drove and missed and the caddie's laughtec be came uproarious. At the third try the ball was dislodged from its perch and spun over the turf for about six feet. "Hi, man I" yelled the caddie derisive ly, "I’ll carry your clubs for the fun «’ the thing.” No Wings Yet Peggy—Is she a social butterliy? Polly—Still a caterpillar, sad to say. •—Town Topics.

An Amazing Fact TO many people it may seem in credible that a habit so common as coffee-drinking can be harmful. Yet if your doctor were to enumerate the common causes of indigestion, head ache, and run-down condition, he would be likely to mention coffee. If you are troubled with insomnia, nervousness, or are inclined to be high-strung, try Postum in place of coffee for thirty days, and note the dif ference in the way you feel, and how much better you sleep. Postum is a pure cereal beverage, absolutely free from caffeine, or any harmful drug. Postum for Health “There’s a Reason” Your grocer telle Poetum in two forma.

Previous to that time, liquor has been smuggled In to Inmates In coffee brought them by relatives, It was said at the sheriff’s office Monday. Sheriff Paul Beardsley, after car rying on an Investigation and ap prehending parties connected with a part of the smuggling, has found that there is no penalty in Iowa for per sons found guilty of such crimes. As a result he has called upon mem bers of the legislature, and a bill Is now before the state senate to pro vide punishment for such offenses. Should the measure be passed, pun ishment for guilt of the crime will mean a five year prison sentence for the parties convicted. Two daggers, supposedly smuggled Into the Jail to aid prisoners In making their escape, have been found in the woman's ward within the past 10 days, the sheriff said Monday. Jailer Dan Beam found the daggers PROMISES TO TAKE ACTION AFTER PROBE Does Not Propose to “Sacri fice” Innocent Man for Own Welfare Washington, Feb. 11—The follow ing statement was issued by the White House at 9:30 o’clock Monday night. “No official recognition can be given to the passage of the Senate resolution relative to their opinion concerning members of the cabinet or other officers under executive con trol. * “As soon as special counsel can advise me as to the legality of the leases and assemble for me the per tinent facts in the various transac tions. I shall take such action as seems essential for the full protection of the public Interests. “I shall not hestltate to call for the resignation of any official whose conduct In this matter In any way warrants such action upon my part. The dismissal of an officer of the government, such as Is Involved in this case, other than by impeachment, is exclusively an executive fun<itlon. “I regard this as a vital principle of our government. “In discussing this principle. Mr. Madison has well said: ‘It is laid down In most of the constitutions or bills of rights in the republics of America; it is to be found in the polltienl writings of the most cele brated civilians, and is everywhere held as essential to the preservation of liberty, that the three great de partments of government must be kept separate and distinct.’ “President Cleveland likewise stated the correct principle in discussing re quests and demands made by the Senate upon him and upon different departments of the government, In which ho said: “ ‘They assume the right of the Sen ate to sit in Judgment upon the ex ercise of my exclusive discretion and tlie executive function for which 1 am solely responsible to the people from whom I have so lately received the sacred trust of office. Responsible to People “ ’My oath to support and defend the constitution, my duty to the people who have chosen me to exe cute the powers of their great of fice, and not relinquish them, and my duty to the chief magistracy which I must preserve unimpaired in all its dignity and vigor, compel me to refuse compliance with these demands.’ “The president is responsible to the people for his conduct relative to the retention or dismissal of public offi cials. I assume that responsibility and the people may be assured that as soon as I can be advised so that I may act with entire justice to all parties concerned and fully protect the public’s interests, I shall act. “I do not propose to sacrefice any innocent man for my own welfare, nor do 1 propose to retain in office, any unfit man for my own welfare. “I shall try to maintain the func tions of the government unimpared, to act upon the evidence and the law as I find it. and to deal thoroughly and summarily with every kind of wrong doing. “In the meantime, such steps have been and are being taken to fully pro tect the publie interests.’’ Legion Commander Flay* Secretary Mellon Nashville, Tenn., Peb. 11.—(u. P.) —Charges that Secretary Mellon is using his office to lobby against the soldier bonus were made at the state meeting of the American Legion com manders by John Quinn, national commander of the American Legion. Tlie newspapers of the United States were also flayed by the legion chief, who charged that if he was given a fair deal and quoted correctly he would not be compelled to be tour iwg the country in the interest of le gionnaires. Oil Promoter Arrives To Start Prison Jolt Leavenworth, Kansas. Feb. ll. (U P.)—S. E. J. Cox, former Texas oil promoter, today started serving his eight-year sentence in the federal penitentiary here for mail frauds. Ths one time cohort of Dr. Frederick Cook arrived from Houston in ous tody of a deputy marshal. He was registered in the usual way and as signed sleeping quarters. His duties will bo outlined for him later. on both occasion*. They were hidden under a bath tub. An Investigation as to where the daggers came from Is now being carried on by the sher iff. Mrs. Qoidle Jones, alia* Demumry, attempted to smuggle a quantity of liquor to her husband, Albert Jones, in the county jail January 15, and was caught in the act by Jailer Dan Beam. She was placed In Jail, but when time came to return an Indict ment, it was found that there is no law covering smuggling into the county jail- The law makes It a crime for smuggling into state insti tutions only. Late Monday Sheriff Beardsley sent out a dozen letter* to sheriffs over the state, asking them to urge the senators and legislators from their district to get behind the hill which he had Introduced through Senator Holdogel. The bill was drawn up by ICugene Whitney of Sioux City, now a clerk In the sen ate at Des Moines, Stage All Set for Opening of Tomb Guards on Watch to Pre vent Early Glimpse of King Tut Universal Service. Luxor, Egypt, Feb. 11.—-The lorn: expected opening of the 2,000-yem old tomb of Tutankhnmen, who reigned in Egypt many centuries before the birth of Christ, is to take place Tuesday and two guards will spend the night, as they did Sunday night, beside the sarcopha gus of the ancient Pharaoh to pre vent any attempts at vandalism or to obtain surreptitious views before the official opening. Although no tomb of a Pharaoh lias been found intact heretofore, and nothing, therefore, in known from previous experience as to what may he found, it is believed that a series of wooden mummy cases will be revealed when the sarcophagus is opened, covered with inscriptions and paintings. It is unlikely that tho mummy itself will he reached Tuesday. CLEAR WAY FOR TAX BILL FIGHT President Coolidge Inclined To Compromise on Mel lon Measure Universal Service Washington, Feb. 11.—With the republicans on the ways and means committee split three ways and the democrats standing solidly in their reports, the decks were cleared Mon day for the free for all tax reduc tion battle scheduled to begin in the house Thursday. The ultimate outcome of the prin cipal piiase of the fight, which cen ters around the surtax rates, remains as much in doubt as when Secretary Mellon first recommended a cut from the present maximum rate of 50 per cent, to 25 per cent. The only certainty in the situation seems to be that the 25 per cent, max imum, although written into much by the majority of the ways and means committee, cannot prevail in the House. This is conceded on all hands. Republican leaders have so Informed ihe White House. President Coolidge. who previously had indicated he would veto the bill if It carried a maximum surtax higher than 25 per cent, now appears to be disposed to submit to a compromise. This was the interpretation placed on a letter from Secretary Slemp to Representative Davey, democrat, of Ohio, in reply to a request for a defi nite statement of the executive’s posi tion. Davey’s inquiry was prompted by newspaper reports that Mr. Cool idge would veto any bill that differs materially from the Mellon plan, par ticularly the surtax schedule.

P.)—At torney General Daugherty wrote Senator Willie, Ohio, asking u hear ing before the Senate committee con- < •Idering the resolution introduced by Senator Wheeler.

"Mart Important b Internal CkanCrtan” LAXATIVES and cathartics provide temporary re j lief only, at the expense of permanent injury. In time, says an eminent physician, an almost in calculable amount of harm is done by the use of pilla, salts, mineral waters, castor oil and the like. Some laxatives, according to an intestinal specialist, contain poisons which affect the stomach and intes tines, resulting in grave disorders. Certain laxatives are a direct cause of piles. Physicians Advise Lubrication for Internal Cleanliness Medical science, through knowledge of the intestinal tract gained by X-ray observation, has found at last in lubrication a means of overcoming constipation. The gentle lubricant, Nujol, penetrates and softens the hard food waste and thus hastens its passage through and out of the body. Thus Nujol brings internal cleanliness. Not a Medicine Nujol is used in leading hospitals and is prescribed by physicians throughout the world. Nujol is not a medicine or laxative and cannot gripe. Like pure water it is harmless. Get rid of constipation and avoid disease by adopt ing the habit of internal cleanliness. Take Nujol as regularly as you brush your teeth or wash your face. For sale by all druggists.
